Post other blitz thoughts, games, ettiquette, good, bad, amusing, or a Maytag washing machine ... all these things can come from a blitz game. Or wait, was that from a Black Hole? Well close enough, we'll lump it in. Here's my peeve for the day .... * * * You are playing along, after mutual Hello's were exchanged at the onset or there abouts. Find yourself in a winning position coming out of the opening, but already a minute and half down on time ... suddenly your opponent decides it would be nice to know where you are from, the annual rainfall there, and name of your firstborn. So okay, am I just getting grumpy? Maybe its just a matter of they figure "the games about over" lets talk now. I can understand that. But it makes me wonder . . . especially if I have two minutes left and it gets chatty. Should I have a Notepad or perhaps Paste set up beforehand to send in this situation? Should it say, "Hey I love to chat, let's do some PM's after this game, or just stay on and chat here! Right now, I got to play." or would I be better with: "Ja, Hi Hi. Hello hey. How today are you? " "Do speaks you some eastern Irutuskan?" "Goodf good? Ja or no? No more Englis I have" "Potensky andrejez undta das hasta faux tempus gleeban ola' schach de monkay?" . Or option #3 ... Oh I love to chat! I am from America, Iowa, 4th hill north of Berry Creek! Where you from? How far is that from you? I have played 20 years, when did you start? Did your Mom teach you? What do you do? Do you like this opening? What's it called? What time is it at your house? Why do you like Chess? What other games have you played? Where else do you play? What are your ratings there? Who do you know there? If I visit you do they Pepsi there? Who are your top ten chess players of alltime? Why do you think so? You are good, I bet you playt tournaments! What happened at your last tournament? Do you know how that 3 times draw works? I don't get it ... can you explain? Briefs or boxers? Taco's or Pizza? Britney or Kristina? Miller's or Bud? BTW Are you are Girl? How old are you, 21? Can you prove that? Or did you mean "12" like Ten plus Two, LOL ...haha * * * * * * * * * You DID ... um lol !? ********** GAME ABANDONED, YOU HAVE WON |

Chess news: Space chess -- A unique chess match is underway between Earth and Space as International Space Station astronaut Greg Chamitoff challenges all the planet’s inhabitants. Chess players from Earth will take their lead from the Stevenson Elementary School Chess Club in Bellevue, Washington State USA. The children will select up to four possible moves for Earth and an online vote will determine which one is played. Chamitoff, a flight engineer, brought a chess set with him when he arrived on the STS-124 space shuttle in June. While speeding about 210 miles above the Earth at five miles a second he has defeated all comers from the mission’s base stations and needs some tougher chess ... Topalov back on top -- Veselin Topalov has regained the top spot on the Fide ranking list after his success at the Grand Slam Final in Bilbao. His fine victory over Ivanchuk in the last round, which we have already seen, was ultimately decisive as Topalov gained five points and Ivanchuk, who is now third, lost five. Alexander Morozevich remains in second place and the Norwegian teenager Magnus Carlsen is up to fourth. The results at Bilbao and the Tal Memorial mean that the forthcoming world title contest between Vishy Anand and Vladimir Kramnik will be between the fifth ranked and six ranked chess players. Both Anand and Kramnik were doubtless distracted by the preparations for the title match and this explains ... 1.b3 or not 1.b3? -- The Russian Chess Championship Superfinal starts today in Moscow with twelve chess Grandmasters, eleven ranked in the world’s top 100, competing for a 5 million rouble (about $200,000) prize fund. The top seed is world number two Alexander Morozevich. Most of Russia’s leading chess players will compete apart from Vladimir Kramnik whose title match against Vishy Anand begins in eleven days time in Bonn. I detailed my long standing prejudice against the move 1.b3 yesterday, here is some more recent ... | |
